TORRINGTON >> An African and Latin American rhythm drum circle will be held Thurs. Sept. 19 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Morrison’s Hardware, located on 63 Water St., to support Torrington’s local art scene and artists.

Susan Strand, facilitator and leader of the GCC Drummers, a “local multi-generational” drum group, welcomes all levels of drummers to participate – from individuals who have never even touched a drum to the experts that can do offhand around an already going rhythm.

A handful of rhythm instruments and drums will be accessible for the participants – but are encouraged to bring their own.

Strand plays the djembe, djun djun, riq and frame drum and will hold a rather short tutorial for participants who have never had experience with a drum circle or playing drums.
